JD, to be honest I don't get a lot of say on mix, there's a song writer & a producer, but I was ok with the mix on this track.
There are a couple more tracks on-line pre-release here.
I think the steel is a little higher in the mix on them.

Good playing, as always. Having heard Allan's band live, I can attest to the fact that bass and drums are LOUD! Put an electric guitar on top of that and the steel will sometimes struggle to get heard, particularly in a live situation - however, as Allan says, there's songwriter and producer in there giving a 'steer' to the overall sound. I think there's a greater tendency these days for steel to be lower in the mix - not always, of course. Compare, for example, Jamie Lennon's playing with Georgette Jones with that of Paul Franklin on 'Bakersfield' - two great steel players but a very different steel sound/mix. Allan does a great job in the context of the band and the music.
